Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Cold But Beautiful Day!
School is again two hours late..
So cold... -14 below...

I slept really good last night but woke up to the cold sensation on my right side.  Sipping coffee and waiting for the medicine to kick in... :-)

I'm happy for a good night sleep..... I know some will struggle with that.  It helps the day go a lot better when you wake up refreshed...

Yesterday was Nancee's funeral.  Her family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers...
Don't let the way a person died ever take away from the way they lived their life. Do not judge anyone and call them selfish. You need to have walked in their shoes and then judgment is still not ours. Hopefully, you will remember how they lived and their legacy will be one of love, laughter and fond memories of how they lived (and that you loved them).

I am so thankful for my family and friends...

The Pattern of Humility
Read | Philippians 2:1-11

Humility is characterized by an attitude that does not seek to exalt or assert oneself. In our world, this quality is certainly not found in everybody. But in God’s kingdom, it is an essential attribute for Christ-followers to have.

Jesus’ life was the definition of “humble.” To become a man, He gave up the glory, majesty, and power that were His in heaven. The Lord voluntarily emptied Himself—just as a glass of water is poured out—and for the purpose of serving us, surrendered all that He shared with His Father.

Not only that, but as a man, Jesus took on the role of a lowly servant. He lovingly submitted Himself to His Father’s plan and relinquished even earthly rights to rescue us from sin. He endured criticism, ridicule, unbelief, and, finally, crucifixion in order to help us. His humility knew no limit. He humbled Himself before the Father to become the Lamb of God, and He did so in full view of mankind, even when He was labeled a criminal and unjustly convicted. His life demonstrates the importance of being humble and gives us a clear pattern to follow.

The disciples missed the point until later on, since they didn’t expect a Messiah in the form of a servant. The leaders felt threatened because Jesus’ call to follow His lifestyle would not give them the importance they desired. The crowds were bewildered because they didn’t understand the danger of pride. But the Father saw Jesus’ meekness and was pleased.

What attitude does God see when He looks at you and me?

Looking forward to another great day...
